Female 60 years old
It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.

2/16 179.9 Hoping to keep going down the 70s this round...
2/17 179.2
2/18 179.6 Went out for a nice dinner last night..ate good food and drank wine, so happy it's not more than this. I ordered what I wanted but was able to stop eating when full and bring home the leftovers.
2/19 182.1 Went to a Mexican restaurant with friends and indulged in chips and margaritas..and it sure showed up on the scale! Time to get serious today. Lots of water and walking....
2/20 180.1 Coming back down....
2/21 180.3
2/22 178.6 Well...my body really made me pay for the night of chips and margaritas! Back downward, but too many social events coming up this weekend....
2/23 176.6 I stepped on the scale 4 times to see if it was right. I'll take it, but won't be surprised if my weight adjusts up some tomorrow.

Fell off the wagon. No tracking, less exercise, less caring about eating well. I was on the verge of breaking through a barrier and didn't take the steps to make it happen. Time to get back on the horse and try again!

2/24: 137.8 - I had a great peloton spin and soaked up our last day of sunshine for a while with a few miles of walking before we went out to dinner. My husband made a bunch of snacks when we got home and I’m so happy I didn’t indulge. 💪 I’m happy to see this weight again, but this is usually when it bounces back up a few pounds. We’ll see!

I'm Crystal! Started OMAD on Feb 5th. I eat my 1 meal at dinner time, anywhere between 5:30-7 pm. Allow myself a dessert an hr later, give or take and that is it until dinner time the next day. (Aside from coffee, which I refuse to give up in the mornings). Still following my macro goals as well. Looking forward to reading everyone's stories and tips/goals! ❤️

2/16 183.1: 2 lbs up from a few days ago. I woke up feeling BAD and was sluggish and nauseous all day. Yesterday we ate fast food because I didn't have time to prepare anything and we were in a rush.. Well lesson learned.
2/17 182.5 just having an off couple of days. Only a few hours of sleep last night too. Hoping for more sleep tonight, and a better day tomorrow
2/18 181.9 woke up feeling better today!
2/19 DNW
2/20 181.9 Making sure I get a walk in today, and most days this week. I haven't been able to get one in the past several days. Hope everyone has a wonderful week ❤️
2/21 180.6 woohoo!
2/22 180.6 didn't get a walk in yesterday. Plan to today
2/23 179 very low calorie day yesterday
2/24 177 this number will go up, unfortunately. My son had the stomach flu and I think I got it from him. Not throwing up or anything like he was (sorry tmi) but I just had the severe nausea and stomach pain. Just ate a handful of crackers yesterday and piece of toast. Sorry, I'm hoping the next round will be more positivity from me!

🌼🌹Ten More Days
I’m a 65 year young Oregon gal, working to hit my next goal of 130. The plan this round continues to be a minimum of 10,000 steps 👣, 2-3 days a week at the gym🏋️♀️, logging ✏️ everyday with no snacking after 8:00, and limiting the 🍷to social events only. And of course guzzling the water 💧!!!

Last round I stopped eating breakfast and I will continue the experiment this round. So I am eating 2 larger meals a day and getting at least 22 active minutes in per day.
SW RND 251: 161.8lbs
2/16: 161.8 lbs I have been struggling with hunger when skipping breakfast the last few days. After advice from quiltingjaine, I am going to try to have lunch around 11am and dinner around 6pm to see if that will work better.
2/17: 163.1 lbs I ate a lot at a party. I went in to the party thinking I would just eat a few things which turned in to eating all the things. If I could go back in time, I not even sure I would change anything. I had a great time and I am back on track today.
2/18: 163.6 lbs Almost 2 pounds up from where I started! I guess I am still gaining from the party splurge. I did have a lot of salt in my dinner so perhaps that has contributed to my gains.

SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 153.1
2/16 - 152.3 - Totally fell off the wagon in the last round 🙁. I’ve been weighing but not logging or posting or really doing anything focused on eating well, staying hydrated and losing all these extra pounds I’m trying to give away. It’s been a stressful week which has resulted in a loss of focus, and loss of discipline and the scale going the wrong way - which proves (again) that planning and logging works. Making it up as I go and relying on myself to make good choices when under stress and time pressures NEVER works. It seems that is a lesson I needed to learn again this week. Ran 3.5 miles today. 10 miles planned for tomorrow. 14 weeks until marathon day.
2/17 - 152.1 - not surprising given the challenging run I had yesterday - I often find my body holds onto weight after I have a long/intense run without the right kind of recovery. Hopefully with some rest and mindful recovery today in addition to being focused and disciplined with the eating and hydration, this week I will see the scale start going back in the other direction (although the pizza I had for dinner tonight will not be particularly helpful. I stayed under my calories for the day - but that is A LOT of salt late in the day - not the type of thing to encourage weight loss.)
2/18 - 152.7
2/19 - 150.4
2/20 - 150.9
2/21 - 150.9
2/22 - 151.1
2/23- 150.1
2/24 - 150.1 - another VERY stressful and demanding week - I weighed every day, but did not log or post. Stress level actually impacted my recovery and I did not do a lot of running due to my elevated resting heart rate. Tried to get to bed early last night and let myself sleep in this morning and managed to get my “training readiness” score back in the green so I went out for my long run today. Completed 8 miles and they didn’t feel too bad. Spending some time today and tomorrow working so that I can go into next week a little more caught up than I have been and will hopefully keep the stress under control and give me back some time in my day so that I can stay tuned into my health goals.

2/16- 171.1 Starting with a swing up, darn it. Trend weight is still going down though.
2/17- 170.5 I would love to finally drop under 170. Gotta trust the process. Heavy dinner tonight, so we'll see what tomorrow brings.
2/18- 170.8 I'll take it.
2/19 171.1 Started reading last night and went to bed late
2/20 170.6 (77.4 kg) Good day today. Keep on keeping on. Trying not to let impatience creep in.
2/21-169.5 (76.9 kg) Finally under 170 and 5kgs down! Even if I fluctuate, I know I'll see this number again and new lows.
2/22- 169.5 Really light lunch today, had pizza for dinner tonight. I think tomorrow will be crockpot white chicken chili.
2/23- 168.6 I went over by about 250 calories, which still leaves me with a small deficit. Did I need to go over? No. Do I regret it? Not really. I think I could have lessened my deficit by skipping the hundred calorie brownie bite at lunch because I had other indulgences (work celebration for a colleague), and I'm feeling a bit fuller than I need to be, but I didn't feel deprived and I didn't overeat. Lots of high sodium stuff today though. Ate more sugar too because my energy was lagging, so something to be mindful of.
2/24- 168.3 Helped my sister paint again today. Don't know why, but my feet ache terribly. I've been home 5 hours, had a hot shower and had my feet up and I still walk a little funny when I get up. I wore the same shoes I did last time I helped a couple weeks ago and didn't have this issue. I'm looking forward to a good night's sleep.

65 yrs young F, 5ft 4 Round 251 (my 181st). Thank you @quiltingjaine for keeping this going, so grateful.
Goals for this round; to lose! And to break the “always looking for something to put in my mouth” syndrome!
Good luck everyone for a successful round.Achieved goal weigh of 125lb in summer 2016 by losing 66lb and then gradually gained between 7 and 11 since then & didn't want to gain any more, it’s taken me 75 rounds to achieve target of 130 = back to maintenance!! But then I crept up again, so need to get back to around 134. A healthy lifestyle must be a permanent way of life.

SW RND 251 - Day, Weight, Comment
2/16 DNW
2/17 144.4 – so there it is the weight at the end of the family holiday, luckily not too much of a hike and something to work at. We spent yesterday at National Trust property Errdig, DGC played in the woods, climbed the trees, balanced on the fallen trees, enjoyed the tree swing and after our picnic enjoyed toasting marshmallows before we all went our separate ways to travel home. A wonderful family week; it seemed really quiet when we got home !!
2/18 143.6 – 11.22 miles walked; 36% of exercise calories eaten back. It feels good to be back in the swing!!
2/19 142.2 – 9.48 miles walked; 10% exercise calories eaten back.
2/20 142.2 – 7.75 miles walked; 55% of exercise calories eaten back.
2/21 142.6 - 8.67 miles walked, got out to walk early before meeting up with sisters for lunch and a spot of leisurely mooching around Lichfield; 70% of exercise calories eaten back.
2/22 142.6 – 9.44 miles walked (during heavy drizzle ☹), all exercise calories eaten back.
2/23 143 – no structured walking, childminding little DGS hence over on calories.
2/24 142.8 – 7.41 miles walked, almost all exercise calories eaten back.
2/25 142 – 11.94 miles walked, just less than 60% exercise calories eaten back. Pleased with this final number, but the scale has been a bit erratic, obviously reflects rate of consistency (or not!). Must concentrate on consistency in the next round, really want to get back down especially as at the moment, the choice of my clothes that comfortably fit is limited, do not want to have to buy a bigger size!!
👍👍This is NOT A DIET. It’s a LIFESTYLE & I AM WHAT I EAT!!!!!

2/25- 196.4 where I expected to be after dinner with friends. It’s great to look at the last ten days and see I was holding pretty steady within a 1lb range as long as I was being consistent with my calories. I don’t mind the hedonistic bloat at the end but I do need to push to drop it before TOM.5 -

Previous R251 Daily Comments:
********************************2/16 131.0lbs. It’s important to me to have a new focus every round. (Not just a continuation of the previous round). For 20 rounds now, I’ve viewed this time as “becoming” vs “being” I’m basically at my destination- so now what? I thought “maintenance” was just about maintaining weight but it’s actually LIVING a new daily life … I want this WOE to be who I am at my core. And, how do I live each day with everything in my life supporting that choice?!…. It’s pretty simple… If it doesn’t fit, get rid of it… And start something new… And LOVING IT!! 🍀to all! Let’s get it done!
2/17 Yesterday was another non-routine day. Started reading “Habit Mechanic”. A “how to” tool book/workbook combining behavioral science, neuroscience and psychology to identify unwanted habits and start new ones. If serious about weight loss, changing any aspect of your life & becoming the best version of yourself, I highly recommend it. Today will be another cold, wet, ugly day, … I’ll be able to get in 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼. Hope to 🚶♀️but the weather may not cooperate. Food is planned.
Also want to thank @quiltingjaine and @camandjarvis for your detailed, thoughtful responses. My thinking cap is on.
2/18 I read yesterday to not focus on gaining muscle until body fat % down. I’m looking forward to speaking to my “trainer” Friday. I know it could sound to most I’m splitting hairs but ever since she told me, “Skinny Fat” … oh gosh just … oh gosh! I felt really, really bad. A friend of mine said, “WELL, I’d much rather be skinny fat than just plain ole FAT!” Well not me. I’ve been athletic most of my life, and to learn that I’m NOT “in shape” when I sincerely believed I was, was alarming … After 8 wks of going from ZERO to moderate 🤸🏼🏋️♀️, I’m definitely feeling more tone & stronger. I WILL keep trusting that the process is working & the scan shows it…. But…. ngl, I’m apprehensive about Friday. Let’s just keep focused and DO the work ….Today: very cold and extra windy (for me) 🙆♀️🤸🏼🏋️♀️ inside this morn & will🚶♀️later weather permitting. Food planned.
2/19 ⚖️ 131.2lbs
✅ all systems go & 13k 🚶♀️as well as 🤸🏼🙆♀️💗. Solid day.
Visited Renpho (⚖️) settings. I was using the old app that is no longer supported. Updated it. My stats are more in line with the InBody and make more sense now. So…. I will be interested to see how close Friday InBody scan comes to this current software/my scale. Will let you know (For all you Renfro users.) May no longer need the InBody.
I’m now one week into my new macros that I’ve hit consistently … No measurable/noticeable change…
2/2/20 Only 6k steps yesterday. ✅ for all other measures.
Today’s affirmations:
“An identity shift is crucial to keeping fat off for life. You must develop the habits and mindset of a fit person.”
“Just because your weight isn’t moving down doesn’t mean you aren’t making progress. When you first start lifting you can lose inches off your waist without losing lbs on the scale.”
Looking forward to a key tennis match in a few hours…. 😎. My team tied for first…. we have a gorgeous, fun day ahead!
Dinner with friends this eve. I’m Prepared… Shrimp Ceviche!
2/21⚖️ 131.6
✅on all cylinders. A day full of exercise & sunshine! We won our tennis match which was seriously fun. Playing again this morn. Not loving the scale but am determined to listen to my positive voice. I had a great day (food-wise), 💦, and last night at dinner instead of ceviche-ordered a grilled mix - quite satisfying. Today is another high-protein day & outdoor day. Onward.
NSV-Proud of myself for plowing through this process, even though the results aren’t “visible” yet-feeling strong.
2/22 132.0 ✅all measures except not enough protein macros. Yesterday was my heavy protein day, and I was 20g short…
Something clicked for me this morning… I keep focusing on my weight in pounds instead of focusing on BF%, that I’ve been working on…. According to my scale, I’m ⬇️1.2% in BF%. (Which is a GREAT trend if accurate!). Usually, I forget about the trends because I figured the logarithm was just tied into body weight. This is the FIRST time my weight went up, but my BF% went down. Looking forward to comparing Renpho to the Inbody scan tomorrow. I’m pleased with the moderate 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼 I’ve incorporated into a routine… & so certainly there must be progress. Hoping to see confirmation tomorrow. I’m preparing for the worst, however… All I know is that I have been moving , lifting weights, and stretching regularly for two months… And gosh, I’m feeling so good! Plenty of confidence. That’s all that matters!
I didn’t sleep the night before so I went to bed super early last night. Managed to get eight hours sleep even though I woke up at 4AM. (Only slept a couple hours.)
Today: 🙆♀️🏋️♀️🤸🏼Outdoors again! Bridge tonight. Prepared.
NSV: I was EXHAUSTED around 5 o’clock yesterday… I really did not want to eat ONE MORE chicken breast… Instead, I ate the most delicious avocado! I was shy of my protein goal, but was ✅ in carbs and fat. When you screw up by eating an avocado vs a chicken breast, you know you’re in for the win! 🤣🤣🤣
(Sleep or lack thereof, definitely impacts decisions…)
2/23 InBody Scan
Today’s the big day! Let’s go!
⚖️ 132.0 to compare to InBody- 1lb up since 1/5/24.
✅Great day yesterday
InBody Results Comparison
I could not be happier with my results! Every measure improved!
When I compare my Inbody results from 12/2014, I am TRULY in the best shape of my life at age 65! And…. I’m NOT done yet!! LETS GOOOOOO!
If I can do it, YOU can do it!

Yesterday’s walk was beautiful. Really enjoyed the “small victory” experience with the InBody scan and will keep at it today. Certainly want to feel that pure JOY again. Did a happy dance 💃 with the personal trainer! She was complimentary…. Stating how hard it truly is to gain muscle/lose fat- AT MY AGE! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻. Took me almost two months to gain 2.8 lean body and lose 2.2 body fat…. -1.8% Body Fat!!!!!That feeling/ belief is far better than any momentary tastebud party! Must remember that each & every time I don’t feel like training!
Also visceral fat went from 7 to 6. A big deal!!! My BMR from 1316 to 1345! YES!
If I can do it, YOU can do it!

From hike yesterday…. Our little community has a full/rich history.
2/25 ⚖️ 130.8lbs.
R251 Summary: weight basically ranged from 130.5 to 132.0 with positive body composition changes. Slow and steady. Planning for next round to be same.
The change in macro experiment worked for me… I will continue it for the next two weeks.
😎More in- depth learning about fluctuations.
✅ on all measures yesterday. Another long, gorgeous walk.
This may be obvious to everyone else, but the weather radically impacts me regarding exercise, food choices… Pretty much everything I think & do. I will be more in tune in the future to look at the weather forecast and not only plan accordingly for exercise, but food, activities, reading, etc. Should do it seasonally! Maybe many do that already but I sure haven’t been doing that! Wow. I’ve just been winging it.
I’ll spend time today creating new focus for R252.
BREAKING NEWS: I will be changing my MFP username. Don’t know what it will be just yet but it will reflect a “new chapter” in my life! Will let y’all know!
Update: FYI POST: I have an iPhone and an Apple Watch. I just learned yesterday that the Health app on the iPhone summarizes trends! Don’t really need all those extra little Apps per se unless you want to drill down to more detail… But this is the type of information the Health app provides…. Did you know?!

Aug 14, 2014 @ 157lbs (down 15 from heaviest of 172lbs in 2010), I decided to take serious control of my health. I lost 30lbs by 11/15/2014. Weight @ 128-132lbs through the end of 2020. Five years!
Another 🎢 Roller Coaster Begins….
2020 through 2021, I fluctuated 132-140 lbs. Always self-conscious.
8/1/ 2022 crept up to 142lbs.
Dropped to 128lbs again by 10/30 - held 130lbs till 2/1/23.
2023 Back ⬆️ 145lbs by July 15! 15lbs BOOM! Enjoyed eating & margaritas way too much. Nutrition has always been somewhat healthy BUT portion control is/was THE issue. Started tracking again 7/15/23. Joined “Just give me 10 days” R231 in beginning of 8/2023. Here we are @ 130ish determined to…. STOP the 🎢 & be in the
📣#bestshapeofmylife 📣
The yo-yo is exhausting & unhealthy. Takes up way too much brain space.
I learned MY choices created an emotional 🎢 roller coaster with yo-yo weight and fitness. My forever goal is to be healthy & fit & maintain approx. 130lbs & IN SHAPE.
As I age it becomes much, MUCH more difficult to lose weight. I could lose 15lbs easy in 8 weeks up to 2022 ish … This is absolutely not true anymore.
While active with 🚶♀️& 🎾 it’s clear a ST 🏋️♀️🤸🏼routine was absent. Strength & balance are 💯most important now. Time to incorporate ST 🏋️♀️ 🙆♀️🤸🏼as my TRUE focus.

So the whoosh I posted yesterday morning will make it difficult to lose anything this round. Ha. Especially if I keep having days like yesterday where I had oatmeal for breakfast, pizza / wings for (Rotary Club) lunch, and spaghetti for supper. Mama Mia!

I really didn’t want to post his, but I am here to be accountable.

This past weekend was a disaster. Ate my emotions. There is still time to gain a little dignity.
2/20: 227.4
2/21: 228.2
/logged; none/
I guess I am seeing where I really am right now. Fuel for inspiration… or is it fuel for resignation? My current level of effort is neither cold nor hot. I am lukewarm...
Time to wake up some slumbering healthy habits. ZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzSLAP! Here is an idea, I should look at my daily goals for this round.
The good news is I am keeping up with my other responsibilities, so at least I am not a total sluggard. 😊
2/22: 226.8
2/23: 227.2
2/24: 229.4
/logging halfhearted; exercise not bad/
We grew up not using bad words, so as little kiddos if we wanted to really insult someone we would say “you are full of it!” The key word “it” meant TMI. Well, I am full of it. Also, sodium related water retention after eating out TWICE yesterday. Supper was late at a new restaurant in town. My shrimp burrito was massive.
2/15: 224.0
Starting weight on day before this round.
2/25: 226.4
/logged it; did some dumbbell work/
Welp, my 10-day average was 1.2 pounds higher this round. This is totally an excuse, but I usually struggle with Rounds that have two weekends in them. It is an excuse, but it also shows an area of weakness for me.
Today’s posted weight is proof of the insight in my post comments yesterday. Let’s just say I didn’t loose any fat. I intentionally drank 70+ ounces of water yesterday, which is not typical for me.
See you next round.

February 16 - 25, 2024
62 year old female, 5’5”. I am married, semi-nomadic (we live in three states, Mass, Maine, Florida).
SW WW Sept 29, 2001 - 168.8 (initially lost 29.8, became staff, then weight up and down 18 years with low of 126.8)
SW MFP Sept 14, 2020 – 153 (lost 40, then stress took off another 2.2 lb with low of 120.8, then stress became gain)
SW MFP Jan 1, 2023 – 146.6
GW Maintaining between 124 - 126
Continuing to figure out maintaining, and to work on best nutrition and exercise.
History:Harry and Han are our cats, who travel with us. Have two “kids”, who are very much adults, a DGS, and second GS on the way. We have two parents, 87(mother), 85(MIL) still with us, and I have logically been needing to help them more as they age. I got my act in gear during COVID, somewhat inspired by NOT becoming my parents. I lost 30 lbs and was exercising daily. Unfortunately, I am an “all in or not” person. Hubby and I seeing our family home and downsizing distractions, plus medical incident with my father and all their new needs, became an excuse (father has since passed and I am DPOA, Personal representative AKA executor, trustee, and oversee the majority of my mother’s care). A year and a half later, I gained 25 lbs and lost all my athletic improvements. I need to figure out balance and how to make health be a daily priority for life!

Day/Weight/Comment
2/16 – 126.4
2/17 – 126.6 So Interesting day (I am posting at night). Day started out with a bang. I entered a 5K as a walker this morning (249 people) and got my best walking pace yet and actually came in “first” of the walkers. Got home and needed to get the house put together (and a shower) as guests were coming over. Was multitasking along the way and DH was helping. I had my computer awkwardly balanced and DH knocked into it while vacuuming. Computer is now semi broken. Oh well. I can still type and post, despite the hinky screen.
2/18 – 125.6 It was a complicated day, food wise. Did not track, but I am familiar enough with what is “ok” that I went with monitored but untracked. Scale seems to agree. Started this morning with a “fun” walk. I have purchased pet backpacks, so this morning I included Han Solo (one of my cats) in my walk. Could only do one lap due to my shoulders/neck and the backpack. But it is clearly an option when I want.
2/19 – 127.2 Boing. Half priced valentines candy at Walgreens.
2/20 – 127.6 More candy
2/21 – 127.4 Candy is now gone. Need to remind myself that I lack control.
2/22 – 130.0 What am I doing????
2/23 – 128.6
2/24 – 127.4 this is a relatively logical number for number of excess calories over these past few days. Upticks related to fluid retention or TMI type retention are likely sorted out. If I can drop .2 by tomorrow, I’ll have no gain for the round.
2/25 – 128.0 scale does not reflect yesterday, where I ate solidly under goal, but the multiple days preceeding….

I'm Crystal! Started OMAD on Feb 5th. I eat my 1 meal at dinner time, anywhere between 5:30-7 pm. Allow myself a dessert an hr later, give or take and that is it until dinner time the next day. (Aside from coffee, which I refuse to give up in the mornings). Still following my macro goals as well. Looking forward to reading everyone's stories and tips/goals! ❤️

2/16 183.1: 2 lbs up from a few days ago. I woke up feeling BAD and was sluggish and nauseous all day. Yesterday we ate fast food because I didn't have time to prepare anything and we were in a rush.. Well lesson learned.
2/17 182.5 just having an off couple of days. Only a few hours of sleep last night too. Hoping for more sleep tonight, and a better day tomorrow
2/18 181.9 woke up feeling better today!
2/19 DNW
2/20 181.9 Making sure I get a walk in today, and most days this week. I haven't been able to get one in the past several days. Hope everyone has a wonderful week ❤️
2/21 180.6 woohoo!
2/22 180.6 didn't get a walk in yesterday. Plan to today
2/23 179 very low calorie day yesterday
2/24 177 this number will go up, unfortunately. My son had the stomach flu and I think I got it from him. Not throwing up or anything like he was (sorry tmi) but I just had the severe nausea and stomach pain. Just ate a handful of crackers yesterday and piece of toast. Sorry, I'm hoping the next round will be more positivity from me!
2/25 178.8 knew this would go up after yesterday- feeling much better. Had a high carb/calorie day yesterday (guess I was making up for the past 2 days 🤣). Back on track today. See y'all next round!8 -

02/16 - 193.4
Yes! Still much too high, but at least moving the right direction.
02/17 - 193.4
I’m going to a friend’s this morning to knit, and she said she has treats, so I’m going to have to watch myself.
02/18 - 193.4
Oh, good. I did have some rhubarb pie yesterday at my friend’s house, and DH made rigatoni for dinner, so I expected to be up a bit. Hopefully this will hold if I behave myself today. Have a lovely Sunday!
02/19 - 194.6
Not a great weekend (pie on Sat., pizza yesterday), and here’s the result. I’ll be so glad when warmer walking weather arrives.
02/20 - 195.4
The rest of the “pizza climb” plus I went out for lunch and snacked at night and went way over my goal yesterday. We have no junk food in the house, it’s all “healthy” snacks, but of course they are not healthy in massive quantities. Why do I keep doing this?
02/21 - 194.8
I was more in control yesterday, which makes me feel better. I’m also changing my breakfasts for more protein—I stocked up on Bilinski chicken sausages and had one this morning, so I’m feeling quite virtuous.
02/22 - 194.4
I did have some buttered popcorn last night, but still kept my calories to 1484, so not horrible.
02/23 - 194.4
Couldn’t sleep at all last night—I think I finally got 90 minutes. I’ve gotten other effective “cures” from this group (no foot/leg cramps in months) so I’ll ask….does anyone have a solution for burning feet at night? They don’t bother me at all during the day and evening, but sometimes in bed the outside edges of my feet burn and tingle like crazy. I’ve increased my B12 and that has helped a bit, but sometimes, like last night, they’re just on fire.
02/24 - 194.4
I slept much better last night, thankfully. Charlie and I spent a nice couple of hours at a local agility trial. He’s not competing yet, but he enjoyed watching all the dogs and people. Me, too.
02/25 - 194.4
Have a lovely Sunday, all! See you next round.

2/25: On an emotional rollercoaster the past few days, I indulged my feelings Thursday (my brother and I were eating vanilla ice cream and ginger snaps simultaneously in separate states in remembrance of our mothers and sisters favorite dessert -- his idea to make me feel better. It worked
). NSV: Although CRAVING carb comfort, I've only allowed myself a small taste each day, have remained within or below calories and while I've slipped, I. HAVE. NOT. FALLEN. Ready for a new week. 7 -

2/16 131.5 TMI after weighing, of course.
2/17 132.0 Just going with the flow. Macros were right on yesterday. Giving my body a chance to adjust to the change in diet.
2/18 132.0 Rode the tourist train with DD DSIL and DGGS yesterday morning. Today is my birthday. No big plans - it’s Sunday so Great Greek. I’m going all out and getting the lamb burger and feta fries.
2/19 131.5 Add 2 glasses of wine and 6 extra family members to yesterday’s Great Greek. Went and had my nails done then stopped at Starbucks for my free birthday coffee. All the years I’ve had a Starbucks card and this is the first time I’ve taken advantage!
2/20 131.5 It’s okay
2/21 131.0 Stress continues but I didn’t give in to snacking. If we had a saltines, I’m sure I would have. Tonight is community Bingo and “dinner.” I don’t know what they’re having but I’m making pork chops between 11 and 1 to accommodate DH’s various meetings. Yesterday I didn’t even THINK about making dinner - I wasn’t eating so he had to fend for himself. I’m a terrible wife.
2/22 132.5 Last night was community bingo. I wish I had known what was for “dinner.” I don’t consider a bowl of nachos and an ice cream sandwich dinner. It’s my own fault for not having willpower in that setting. Next month is tacos (not much better) but we’ll be on a cruise. YAY! Tomorrow Golden Corral with friends. At least we’ll be eating in my OMAD window.
2/23 132.0 I need to plan my trip to GC which can easily get out of control!
2/24 132.0 Surprised I’m not up after GC. I fasted all day until there and tried to behave. I should have just eaten the blueberries in the NSA pie.
2/25 133.0 AHH There it is. Not a great way to end the round but not unexpected.
Now trying to check-in for the cruise on 3/12 as are the other 2000 passengers. 🤦♀️6 -

It's been a while since I've been here, but decided to focus on weight loss again and this has always been a helpful tool for me. Lost 30 pounds last spring. then gained a few of those back. Have kept up my daily walks, but need to concentrate on nutrition.

02/23 -178.0- (Trend weight 180.4)
02/24 -178.4- (Trend weight 180.2) A bit of a swing up today which is disappointing but I’m not totally surprised. I got very hungry very late last night and when a handful of almonds didn’t do the trick I made a healthy low cal / low carb sandwich. It put me over on my macros and was too close to bed. But I’m very proud that I didn’t find “off plan” food to fill my belly. Today I am eating the same things I ate yesterday as I have leftovers for lunch and then a whole other leftover dish of another type for dinner. I will try to change my eat times later and hope I won’t need another sandwich tonight! I just want to get rid of those on-plan leftovers! Today I am right at my starting weight for the round. Since my goal is to lose any amount, if I can manage without that sandwich tonight, I should be able to make goal. Toes crossed!
02/25 -178.2- (Trend weight 180.1) I was hoping for a bigger drop but there was those leftovers yesterday…. While “on plan”, it was the higher end of “on plan” because it contained some pasta in the casserole. I was hoping for a bigger drop but there was those leftovers yesterday…. While “on plan”, it was the higher end of “on plan” because it contained some pasta in the casserole. Time to move on to some lean and mean today. I went shopping yesterday in my local grocery store. What the heck happened to the price of eggs (again)? My store is selling the regular store brand for $3.39 per dozen! What did I miss?
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

@musicsax - I right there with you with the closet full of clothes but only a small percentage that fit comfortably. I REFUSE to buy new (bigger) clothes but need to get going or I'm going to wear out the ones that I can wear!!
@_JeffreyD_ - I have never thought about the difference in days in each round - so find it insightful that you have recognized the pitfalls of those with two weekends. Weekends remain one of my biggest challenges as well. I am really good and disciplined during the week and then Friday night comes and it all goes out the window. I need to figure out how to keep the momentum and accountability of the week thru Sunday and not completely abandon course as soon as Friday at 6pm arrives.7 -
RND 251 (my sixth)
SW (first round) 155.8
SW (this round) 153.1
2/16 - 152.3 - Totally fell off the wagon in the last round 🙁. I’ve been weighing but not logging or posting or really doing anything focused on eating well, staying hydrated and losing all these extra pounds I’m trying to give away. It’s been a stressful week which has resulted in a loss of focus, and loss of discipline and the scale going the wrong way - which proves (again) that planning and logging works. Making it up as I go and relying on myself to make good choices when under stress and time pressures NEVER works. It seems that is a lesson I needed to learn again this week. Ran 3.5 miles today. 10 miles planned for tomorrow. 14 weeks until marathon day.
2/17 - 152.1 - not surprising given the challenging run I had yesterday - I often find my body holds onto weight after I have a long/intense run without the right kind of recovery. Hopefully with some rest and mindful recovery today in addition to being focused and disciplined with the eating and hydration, this week I will see the scale start going back in the other direction (although the pizza I had for dinner tonight will not be particularly helpful. I stayed under my calories for the day - but that is A LOT of salt late in the day - not the type of thing to encourage weight loss.)
2/18 - 152.7
2/19 - 150.4
2/20 - 150.9
2/21 - 150.9
2/22 - 151.1
2/23- 150.1
2/24 - 150.1 - another VERY stressful and demanding week - I weighed every day, but did not log or post. Stress level actually impacted my recovery and I did not do a lot of running due to my elevated resting heart rate. Tried to get to bed early last night and let myself sleep in this morning and managed to get my “training readiness” score back in the green so I went out for my long run today. Completed 8 miles and they didn’t feel too bad. Spending some time today and tomorrow working so that I can go into next week a little more caught up than I have been and will hopefully keep the stress under control and give me back some time in my day so that I can stay tuned into my health goals.
2/25 - 150.7 - slight uptick from the last two days but happy it was not more post long run. Hoping I can finally get to the 140’s next round!

~ Last night I had TWO cheeseburgers when I had the stomach for only one. I didn’t eat allot yesterday and I stayed on my treadmill for 3 miles. Maybe these are the reasons I still managed a loss

~ this little dipper happened in spite of of it being “wing night” at my house. So proud of me! *patting back*
~ Drank a bunch of water as I stayed up late playing poker. That pretty much killed the urge to munch - Fri 02/23🟥177.5;+1lbs

~ I weighed in a little later then normal so I’m not sure if this was an honest reading of the scale I’m starting to wonder if I will make my mini goal weight of 175 🤨 I do believe I’m walking less then usual. I will make it a point to walk 3 miles on Sat/Sun and 2 miles on MTWThF NO MATTER WHAT! - Wed 02/21🟥177.4;+0.6bs
~ Post TMI: 176.5
~ Maybe I should’ve logged ahead and then maybe I would have had only one hot Italian sausage not two. I was definitely under calorie and carb but I am low on groceries and my day was filled with what I had on hand; low carb bread and sodium filled sausages and sandwich meats and cheeses. (1000+ over my sodium goal for the day)

~ Woke up on the “glass half full side” of the bed.. lol
Happy Check-point Day everyone !!
- Mon 02/19🟥177.2;-1.3lbs
~ I had my one night of drinking with my husband on Sat night. We shared two pitchers of Michelob ultra. The scale went up a bit for that reason. I quickly recovered into Sunday and drank a toooon of water to help contend with the post-drinking munchies I still ate low carb throughout the weekend and didn’t go off the rails late that night, as I normally would have. I forced myself to go to bed with a couple of Melatonin gummies. I can never sleep well when I drink too much. - Sun 02/18🟥178.5;+.4lbs
~ Ok ok.. so I did not do perfectly yesterday. But I’ll complete a report of my entire weekend when I weigh in on Monday! - Sat 02/17🟥178.1;+1.8lbs
~ I wish I would have pre-logged yesterday. Taking the rice out of the left over Home chef meal did NOT make it low carb! If I was in Ketosis I’m probably not anymore! It is a new day and the first thing I did upon opening my little eyeballs(besides putting in my contacts and brushing my teeth) was drink my 40 oz cup of water and get on the treadmill! I really don’t want to [insert in bold!!]WILL NOT!! Self-sabotage this weekend. - Fri 02/16🟩176.3;-.7lbs
~ I have been snacking on the zero sugar candies my husband gave me for Valentine’s Day… but only 4 pieces at a time and I’ll eat them with a Tbs of JIF no sugar peanut butter. It hit the spot but it is the only processed food “splurge” I’ve been having lately. So the sale made sense today! - SW: 177
~ Continuing on with my same plan
Customized the plan a bit!
~ My original plan was to drink light beers only once a week. (Saturdays preferably) but as I get stressed at work I’m finding that to be a difficult undertaking. So I’ve tweaked my rules
a bit and have allowed myself 2 after work and only on a select few nights. With only two light beers, I have been able to curtail the mindless eating that typically follows.

Last round I stopped eating breakfast and I will continue the experiment this round. So I am eating 2 larger meals a day and getting at least 22 active minutes in per day.
SW RND 251: 161.8lbs
2/16: 161.8 lbs I have been struggling with hunger when skipping breakfast the last few days. After advice from quiltingjaine, I am going to try to have lunch around 11am and dinner around 6pm to see if that will work better.
2/17: 163.1 lbs I ate a lot at a party. I went in to the party thinking I would just eat a few things which turned in to eating all the things. If I could go back in time, I not even sure I would change anything. I had a great time and I am back on track today.
2/18: 163.6 lbs Almost 2 pounds up from where I started! I guess I am still gaining from the party splurge. I did have a lot of salt in my dinner so perhaps that has contributed to my gains.
2/19: 163.6 lbs
2/20: 163.8 lbs
2/21: 162.7 lbs
2/22: 162.2 lbs Work has been very busy the last few days so I didn't have time to post. When I focus on work, I lose focus on eating on plan.
2/23: 162.7 lbs
2/24: 162.9 lbs
2/25: 162.2 lbs 0.4 lbs gain for me this round. That's not as bad as I thought it would be. I think I need to start calorie counting again. See you all next round!9
